Take up artifact weapons of unbridled power and stand before the apocalyptic tide of the Burning Legion.

First I'd like to say this is my first time picking up WoW when I bought the new expansion, so I have no idea what WoW used to be like and can't comment on the nostalgia etc. I played casually about 1 hour a day and maybe 2 hours on the weekend for about 2 months.
There's a lot of content for a casual player in this expansion. Daily quests, world quests, etc. Story however was split off in many directions, and although it was clear to figure out which quest was a story quest in the beginning, it begins to branch out where I wasn't sure which is the main story quest I was supposed to be following. So although I understood and liked the story at first, after clearing out the initial story quests for each region and getting the key items from each one, there was no clear way to help me figure out what the next quest for me to take that follows the main story (the adventurer's newbie guide on this was very vague as to what to pursue next).
Additionally, getting into a group through the group finder to experience some of the harder/locked content might be rough as a DPS or a terrible tank or healer. I managed since I did pretty high DPS on both AoE and single target (~300k Single Target DPS and high AoE DPS at ilvl 860) as a WindWalker Monk, but if you are a new player who hasn't experienced MMOs before, you might have a rough time with experiencing the fresh content that comes out (I had hardcore raiding experience as DPS in other MMOs previously like FFXIV).
Pretty fun game with a ton of small hidden items and rare finds you can get from the open-world. The open world experience was great at release, but I'm not sure as of now how to rate it. What I really enjoyed was that at no times an area was 'dead' or empty in the current expansion zone, really liked the large playerbase WoW has.
I would recommend it if you are playing with someone else or if you want a good MMO.

WARNING! Cannot hold some 17" laptops

Just letting people know it may not hold a gaming laptop that's 17 inches. It did not fit my ASUS ROG JS750. You could try to squeeze it in but risk damaging the backpack and laptop itself.

I really like the PS TV system to play my vita games. It plays them on the TV with pretty good quality. It's not PS4 quality but it's actually very nice and a cheaper alternative to the vita that's actually better than it in some ways. The portability of it is awesome. It can literally fit in your pocket, it's super small, like a small notepad for example, or 1.5x the size of a post-it. Additionally, it's pretty durable and you don't really need to protect a screen or anything of the sort. No real downsides to it, it's a good substitute to the Vita handheld. Plays all of the most popular games on Vita so I have no complaints about the restricted selection. The only complaint I guess is touchscreen components are a pain to use, but you get used to it.

This game is super addicting. Great to play in bursts because really fast games. Good learning curve too, some easy characters and some hard, some medium, etc, but all are very balanced. They designed this game really well.

Leveling up in this game is faster than borderlands 1. The characters and skills also are more fun (except for gunzerker, that one is niche). This game is great for 2 players locally, but I wouldn't recommend it if you're playing alone. It's more fun when you're playing with other people going through the storyline. Online seems alright, but you should play with friends or relatives or find yourself a permanent party to play the story with. Loot Gathering gets tedious once you get max level, and once you get to the max level there is not much to do. This game will last a good 30-50 hours though if you play it till you get to the max level and do all the missions.

This game has a very unique story that I will not spoil for you. The enemies are a bit harder than your classic CoD AI, and the hardest difficulty, FUBAR, in my opinion, is TWO TIMES harder than CoD's Veteran difficulty. The checkpoints are fewer, your ammo is restricted, and each shot/grenade counts. You can interact with the environment, i.e shoot sand dams to flood enemies and shoot explosive barrels, or you can just go head on. The cover system is very bad in this game, you'll die half your times or more due to the bad cover. The assist system can help you with that though, because you can basically go through almost the entire story doing nothing but telling your teammates to shoot someone.

The Best Controller for PS3

I drop this controller almost all the time, and it's still good as new and working properly. It has the best feel out of all the brands, and even if the analog stick gets dusty, you can easily remove and clean it. Do not choose any other controller brand if you have the choice, this easily is the best, and the original.

In Guild Wars 2, you're never alone. There are tons of quests and mini events that are happening in real time with a dozen of other players like you working together or interacting. However, there are very few weapon types, and the skills those weapons give and combos are all the same. In order to be original, you will have to buy skills with your in-game gold , but you can only use a certain number at a time.

Boss battle are IMMENSE and are compelling. Fighting is even so casuals can play it and it's easy to learn combos for this game, unlike street fighter games and the other fighting games right now, which cater to only the pro's who can land 10+ button combos. Fun if you're into Naruto, and I would recommend this if your kid likes it and he has a bro/sis that also likes it. You should probably get Storm 3, the sequel, but this one does just as well but with less characters. Online play is frustrating and filled with spammers though.

The single player is like 5 hours long. Multiplayer is great for co-op split screen, but a lot of players will use the same weapon that's overpowered and so there's no originality. You'll see the same gun and grenades and special equipment used all the time, which is boring. I want to see different types of players using tact. insertions, machine guns, and the other unused equipment. There is very few balance in this game.
